GIRL SNAKE CATCHER.
The Massachusetts Damsel Who
iS n DeyOlee to OphiOlOgy.

In a DeyOtee To Oph1OIOgy.
She lives in Maiden; she is IL years
old, or thereabouts, and she is an oph-
iologist-that is to say, her specially
is snakes. Very often, in pleasant
Summer weather, this young girl, with
hands clad in high buck gloves and
armed with a bottle of chloroform,
turks about the fens and pools and
thickets watching for snakes, a girl fair
to look upon, sauntering, one might
imagine, with eyes upon the ground,
in maiden meditation, fancy free. She
is in maiden meditation, indeed, but
not fancy free, because her fancy is
bound to snakes and she is
searching intently for some va
riety not yet added to her
collection of several hundred.
Presently she stops; with an eager
CLEAN in her eye she crouches along a
step or two, her glove-clad right hand
drawn back as if to clutch some OBJ
ject; she springs forward toward the
ground with swift motion, and then
stands erect with the body OF a snake
writhing about her arms in desperate
throes. She has it by the neck. and
proceeds calmly to thrust its head into
the neck of her bottle of chloroform.
Not many days ago this young
scientist, after rather desperate con-
test, captured in the fells black
snake so large and powerful that when
it wrapped itself in the mad grasp Of
its body about her arm it strained her
cords and muscles 50 severely that
she was lame for week. 1t did not
prevent her, however, from sallying
forth again, and when she happened
to perceive, at the margin of pool,
a big water-snake of variety which
she had not secured for her col
lection, she lay in wait for it. AS the
snake pounced upon frog she
pounced upon the snake, but the rep
tile was in his element and escaped
her. Was she to be baff1ed in that
way? Not at all. She managed to
anchor a frog in some way upon a
stone at the edge of the pool, at a spot
where the bank was overhung with
bushes. Then she stealthily laid her.
self flat upon her face under the
bushes at the brink of the water, and
there she lay in ambush for a long
time, while the snake curiously eyed
the frog. At last the snake with sud-
den resolution made bold to seize the
frog; but as he did so gloved hand,
swifter than his own sinuous motion,
darted from the bank, and he was
prisoner, splashing the water of the
pool in his vain effort to escape. The
girl has one grief-she has not been
able to capture with her own hands

A Lost Ledge Discovered.

The ledge that Superintendent T.
A. Oliver has been searching for these
last two or three months was cut by
cross-cut run from the 200-foot level
northerly about one week ago. This
is the old Murphy ledge which
was lost in 1867, the richest
that the mine then contained,
losing it in a wide break, which has
been lost till to date. The ledge, which
lies in the cafion, was evidently
showed down the cafion a number Of
feet by volcanic action. This cut the
ledge at both ends, and when the
former company in 1867 had worked
out this transporter portion of the
ledge to both ends, and could not find
the ledge on the other side of the
break, they naturally concluded that
it had pinched out. Superintendent
Oliver, by driving a crosscut 100 feet
has found the original ledge in the
hill, about fifty feet from the place
where it was cut by fault, and has
every reason to believe that he has
the old ledge again. The paying
streak of the ledge is six feet wide,
having in the center ore about two
and one-half feet in thickness that
will mill over 5000 without sorting
But above this, lying on a streak OF
iron ore, is stringer of white quartz,
heavily charged with silver, that
assays over $500 per ton. This ledge
has the same characteristics as the old
Murphy ledge, that made such an
excitement in early days, and Mr..
Oliver is satisfied that it is the identi-
cal ledge beyond the break. The
white stringer came i'll about as big as
ones finger, and as the drift was
driven further in it opened out and is
now over twelve inches thick. Mr..
Oliver is very much elated over his
new strike and feels confident that he
has a large body of ore near at hand:
The ore mills over $500 per ton, and
there is no ledge in Nye county that will
equal it. Mr.. Eastwood was shown
the ledge and he says that Ophir
Canon has not had such rich body
of ore in sight since the famous early
days. They have now about three
hundred feet of slope to the surface,
and with new ground which has never
been touched with the pick to the
north, deeper into the mountain. We
expect to hear glowing reports from
Ophir as a bullion producer hence
forth. Austin, New, Reveille.

The Best Authority.

Has anybody ever discovered the
identity of that mendacious king who
stands behind all the ISLANDERS and
scandals in the mysterious nom de
ouerre, "The Best Authority" If the
knowledge ever does transpire there
should be immediate concerted effort
to eradicate the wretch and free the
community from one of its most dam
gerous pests, and until the william is
unmasked it is at least well that
everybody should be warned against
one who seems to do more harm than
all the rest of social gossips combined.
Evidently there is no society so ex-
elusive, no circle SO carefully guarded,
that The Best Authority is not able to
enter it and there is never mischiev-
GUS falsehood put in circulation which
this mysterious and evil parsonage
does not have share in shaping.
From the tiny scandal which rosy
lips repeat with thoughtless piquancy
to the malicious slander which vicious
old gossips roll as sweet morsel un.
der their tongues, there is no form OF
misrepresentation in which The Best
Authority is not willing to take a
share, SO that one who has upon his
hands any bantling falsehood what.
ever has only to thrust it upon the
tender mercies of The Best Authority
and it is instantly furnished with all
the nourishment and support it may
need or desire.
So we'll are these facts known thai
il is surprising in these enlightened
days to find any one who will receive
any statement as true which is Offered
under the patronage of The Bes
Authority. The bare mention of such
support is equivalent to stamping {
story as false, and to say that thin.
is known on the testimony of The Bes
Authority is merely a smooth an(
polite method of clubbing it false
hood. In word, it is evident tina
The Best Authority is double-dyet
villain and mischief-maker, who is t,
be denounced, feared and avoided
and whose connection with any tall
may be considered sufficient to dis
credit it without further evidence;
being to be hunted down and driver
out Of decent society, which shoul'
have too much regard for truth to en-
dure liar like The Best Authority

A Tame Toad.


 Dick was only great toad. The boys found him beside the road one sweet day last summer when the June roses were in bloom, and triumphantly deposited him in one of the flower beds "to eat the bugs an things offn the pinks an pansies an rosemary an stuff, an beside yo know, mamma, the other boys will throw stones at him." That set tied it and Dick, as they gravely informed me they had named him, was left to enjoy his flowery home. Occasionally when cut ting flowers I noticed the exceeding tame ness of the little creature, and was often as- sured by the boys, "Our Dick is the very best toad in town" However, I noticed nothing uncommon until two or three weeks after they had brought him home, when I was attracted by their peals of laughter and presently heard them calling, "Dick, DICK, come Dick" I slipped out and peeped around the corner of the house and beheld most comical sight. One of the boys was down on his knees holding out his tiny hands and calling to the toad, which was graVely hopping toward him, making peculiar It, tie noise until he reached the little out stretched hand, into which he hopped and sat contentedly blinking his little bright eyes. After this I noticed the strange pet more closely, and found he would always come promptly when his name was called, and seemed very grateful when presented with worm or bug. He would come at any kindly call, but showed greatest preference for eight -year-old mischievous Teddie, into whose hand he would always hop, and whom | he would hop after as long as he would walk ! around the flower bed where Dick made his | home, but never beyond it's limits. Dick would eat all the floral enemies up that ven- tured there. When the cold days of autumn came upon us he left us and we have seen him no more What is the moral of this9 ! Nothing-only that kindness and mercy | shown to even so humble a creature as a
 toad will bring pleasures and sure recom- \ pense.

RAR BOSTON NOTION.

Some Irish citizens of Boston have shown a very unworthy spirit of intolerance in try ing to prevent certain other citizens of Bos- in honor of Queen Victoria's jubilee It has been the custom to allow any respectable persons to have the use of the hall. for any legitimate purpose. The committee on the hall in this case received several strong re- monstrances against allowing it to be used for the jubilee celebration, and gave hear ing to the petitioners and remonstrants. The hall would be desecration and an insult to every patriotic American. They intimated that those who were offended by it would make public disturbance and prevent the occupation of the hall by violence, and they threatened the committee with vague but dreadful consequences to themselves if they should report in favor of the petitioners. The latter proved that they were citizens of the United States and of Boston, native or naturalized, and explained that their pur- pose was to give banquet in honor of the Queens jubilee, offering tickets for ..sale to the public and devoting the proceeds to the founding of six beds in the Massachusetts General hospital.
 This is all wrong. Those citizens of Bos- ton who like Queen Victoria have as good 8 right to show their appreciation of her by banquet as those who dislike her and her government have to show their dislike by speeches at banquets and public meetings. This is free country.
